The website reports that the Department of Health and Human Services is reversing its 2024 reorganization, splitting the CIO and ONC offices into separate entities, and bringing the CTO, CAIO, and CDO back under the CIO's office.
The claims regarding the Department of Health and Human Services' reorganization and the roles of its CIO and related offices are largely supported by multiple sources. The evidence confirms the reversal of the 2024 reorganization, the separation of the CIO and ONC offices, and the consolidation of technology roles under the CIO. However, the claim about HHS leadership's support for FITARA lacks strong corroboration, resulting in a lower score for that claim. Overall, the claims are mostly accurate based on the available evidence.
